Thanks, Srikanth. I am looking for spatial data of the Check posts. As you said, after the implementation of GST, most of the interstate check-posts are not operational. But I need the location information for one of my analysis.
There are few reports which have information regarding the interstate check posts. A report from Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL), contains the information regarding the check post ( Refer annexure) http://ihmcl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Draft-RFP_border-check-post_28jul16-final-1-.pdf I tried to geocode based on the given keywords. But it doesn't seem to work. Is there any other possible way, to extract the spatial information with this limited information?
